There’s no point to rush. Even if you start counting 28 days from today by 6th of December your bank statement will be ready and you can print on Monday 7th of December.

I’m sure there’s liberty till 2nd week of January before resumption and you can always ask for 1 or 2 weeks extension from your uni.

Surulere!

Its really been a long time as Abideen is now the new president elect

Welcome back bro, go and sin no more

Na so e carry ban knack me akpako.

Good to be back.

Last time I was here, Donald John Trump was President. That gives you idea how long ago that was.

Well, I’m happy to be back. I pray that the gods grant me grace to be able to not call out person(s) on this thread.
Amen.

Absolutely NOT!!! University ranking doesn’t matter for MOST of the courses I know. All that matters is accreditation of the course by the professional body, your experience and certifications.

SamReinvented:
Thank you so much Justwise for your reply. I'm generally aware of these points, it is that "putting off" sentiment that I wish to know more about its intensity, especially when it comes to prospects. But you only touched briefly on that point.

I initially wanted to go to Sunderland, but then I started having second thoughts about the uni due to prospects of the program (from what I have read, actual professional engineering would give far better prospects, than management engineering). So, I'd like to know if the trade-off is really worth it in this case. In other words, would recruiters choose to hire Msc Engineering Management from Sunderland before even considering Msc Electronic Engineering from Bedfordshire?

Btw, Electronic Engineering program at UofB is ranked very well (in the 40s), right amongst some very reputable universities (https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/electrical-and-electronic-engineering). The program is also accredited with IET. The program at Sunderland on the other hand is not accredited by any institute. I wouldn't mind getting the good ranking msc program at UofB, only if the general sentiment about the uni isn't so bad. I keep focusing on sentiment, because I imagine no one would really bother to checkout the reputation of a specific program in a uni, if the general sentiment considers the uni as complete shit. It's that sentiment I want to really picture from UK residents. Would be grateful if you can also help to pick brains from residents in the Engineering sector; that would help a great deal. Thank you so much!

PS: I don't really care for the city life or student jobs or cost of living and the likes. Just specifically about the prospects/reputation of the certificate, as I have explained above.

I have £ for sale

DaDevin:
I have naira for pounds (£200) please anyone

The “free” NHS service and the bolded is why I’m part of the some

Chukwuka16:
Agreed that the salary may be miserable. In fact, I'm at loss for a better word. However, on the flip side, some folks may just be ok with that salary considering other benefits they derive from the UK.

For some perhaps the proximity to home and the relative abundance of Nigerians here in the UK (per sq m of developed land) with the constant owambe parties and jolly rice may be appealing enough reasons.

For others it may be the natural attachment between Nigerians and the UK considering they were our colonial masters. I grew up wanting nothing more than to visit the UK. I needed to see Great Britain and then visit England and then port over to London

When you cost these values and add them to the salary, you begin to see that they earn more here in the UK than perhaps in Canada. Salary isn't the only income to consider, there's also the emotional cost!

This does makes sense but might be hard to achieve except u have an insider in the bank. You knw as 9ja bankers dey behave

iboboyswag:
Just a piece of advice concerning bank statements...

Always ensure that your statement is signed (endorsed) by 2 officers of the branch where the statement is printed before you upload.

This can save a lot of questions.

It’s not as easy bro but I suggest you apply for biomedical sciences

Samadhii:
Hello!
Which MSc program can a biochemistry graduate apply to that will enable him get a job easily after study with good pay...

I'm considering clinical biochemistry but I don't know about the job prospects..

Most GP’s are closed, only doing telephone consultation or they refer you to 111

LagosismyHome:
Even Gp locum work practically dried up.... which initally was surprising considering we are suppose to be in a pandemic....you would think the opposite

but maybe its because are told not to go to hospital or gp except in some cases so the actual workload is reduced

Most NHS labs had to cut down staff number due to reduced surgical cases

EngrSaks:
Eyah...but there is a shortage of medics. Does he have any health issue?

Locum is good but job security is important. A colleague of mine joined locum for the money, his contract was terminated Cus of COVID he’s been out of job since April

EngrSaks:
The money in nursing and medicine is in the locum work, especially night and weekend locum shifts..some nurses i know don make pass £5k ontop locum work per month

This is one of the reasons they are considering a social media bill.

Wahala be like bicycle

Good evening guys,

Adapapaokoye:
You prefer to eat Nonsense than to pay for quality food

The price of yam won’t let me attempt this. 1 small tuber of yam for £3. Omo I pick race

LagosismyHome:
Some people are so creative ... this caught my eyes yesterday and went to check it out on Google. Interesting to note a blender can be used .

With some of the yam flour / poundo you see here it not actually yam but a mixture of many things.... potatoes, rice etc. Only God knows what you are actually eating . I think it's only Ola ola that actually yam on the packet label . Good to know person fit use yam and blender

Best to use ur own calculation Cus I assumed some things when completing the form

yusufDeveloper:
I just calculated using the link you sent and this is what I got. Please how did you get £1410

2. £1410.00

REFERENCE: https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/Type

yusufDeveloper:
Please,
1) who has used Zenith bank to process the form A. How long does it take for the school to see the funds.
2) if a course is 16 months. Is it £470 x2 that I'm going to pay for IHS?
3) if your required funds are already met (over 28 days). Can you pay your school fees (deposit) from it as long as the remaining funds in your account are more than the required amount?

I think people shld get acquainted with the likes of Twitter and Instagram for first hand VERIFIED information and news and not rely on Nigerian tv stations and dailies.

TV stations wey dey fear to cover the end sars protests, the brave ones that managed to cover face 3mil fine.

Don’t think so, I think we need one tbh

Adeyeti:
Pls is there a thread on HCPC. Thanks

Hehehe this will be interesting o. Never heard of anyone that’s done it but what’s ur itinerary. I can tag along

umarwy:
thank you

On a side note

I am planning on driving to Nigeria from UK sometime in the future (4 days drive), I was wondering if there's anyone who has done any touring in the past or is interested in joining me.

They said u still have to pay 51k for a repeat test when you get to 9ja even with ur NHS test result

umarwy:
Who has traveled to naija recently please?

Has anyone had troubles using NHS test?

Yes i think so

jaeybee98:
Hello, can one be issued a visa for a top up program?

In 2012, londonmet almost lost their license because someone reported one of their students to UKVI that they were breaching immigration rule. UKVI investigated and realised most students weren’t attending uni. That was what led to and marked the beginning of monthly university clearance/ attendance all over uk universities.

Zoey1:
Every school has a rep within BHC that does some inside jobs regards visa, so not declaring it doesnt hide it.
Schools are careful about their sponsorship license hence they need the checks.... The more refusal their students get , the closer they are to losing license.... It once happened to LondonMet.

Though this might not necessarily apply to someone applying from Nigeria, but I just have to say this so that anyone that wants to apply from within UK won’t be discouraged

I didn’t have a degree in nursing when I got my admission to study MSc Mental Health Nursing. On the interview day, there was a guy that studied accounting, he also got admitted. All that was required then was minimum of 6 months health care experience, well written personal statement and performance at the interview.

Zoey1:
1.To study MSC Nursing, you must have had a degree in Nursing.
2. B.A won't get you MSc Nursing but the person can do Bsc Nursing in some schools not all UK schools accept International students for Nursing/Social Works.
3. B.A/Bsc/MSC Social Works in the UK is very competitive.
- A lot of schools don't admit international students because the course has a 170 days work placement attached to it that a student visa can't fit into.
- A lot of schools want someone who has had 4/5 years working experience in that field, so its more of experience than qualification.
- Its a 3 step admission in most schools (Written test, Interview and a background check/declaration).
Like that....like that.

Which city are you located?

Luseyi:
People I need serious help o

How much is the tuition for the topup program?

kc6964:
Don't point me out if you don't understand my message and what am going through presently. how will i be sprading fake news and still seeking for confirmation from the expirence ones here.
